Some cool South Africa Wildlife Photography & Conservation images:
Crowned Plover
Crowned Lapwings (Plover) prefer short dry meadow which may be overgrazed or burnt, but
avoid mountains. In higher-rainfall locations such as parts of Zambia and Zimbabwe, they occur
mostly as dry-season site visitors. In dry areas of north Botswana nevertheless, they are
attracted in huge numbers when good rain occurs. In southern Africa their greatest
concentrations are to be discovered in the dry central Kalahari region.
Although typically exceeded by Blacksmith Lapwings, they are the most widespread and locally
the most numerous lapwing types in their area of circulation. Their numbers have increased in
the latter component of the 20th-century after benefiting from an assortment of human tasks.
They live up to 20 years.
The Crowned Lapwing is among the species to which the Arrangement on the Preservation of
African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.

The leopard (IPA: [l?p?d R_SQUARE_B.; Panthera pardus) is an Old World mammal of the
Felidae family and the tiniest of the four roaring cats in the genus Panthera, the other three are
the tiger, lion and jaguar. When distributed around southern Asia and Africa, from Korea to
South Africa, the leopard’s selection of distribution has lowered significantly over time since of
a range of elements, featuring human influence, and the leopard now chiefly happens in
sub-Saharan Africa. There are fragmented populations in India, Indochina, Malaysia, and China.
Regardless of the loss of selection and constant decreases in population, the cat continues to
be a “Least Concern” species; its numbers are higher than that of the other Panthera species,
all of which deal with more acute conservation concerns.
The leopard has reasonably short legs and a long body, with a huge skull. Physically, it most
closely resembles the jaguar, although it is generally smaller and of slighter build. Its fur is
marked with rosettes which lack internal spots, unlike those of the jaguar. Leopards that are
melanistic, either entirely black or extremely dark in coloration, are among the big cats known
informally as black panthers.
The types’ success in the wild owes in component to its opportunistic hunting behavior, its
flexibility to a range of habitats and its capability to move at up to roughly 60 kilometres (37
miles) an hour. The leopard eats essentially any sort of pet it could hunt down and catch. Its
favored habitat assortments from jungle to desert terrains. Its ecological part and condition
resembles that of the similarly-sized cougar in the Americas.

3. The leopard (pronounced / leop?rd /; Panthera pardus) belongs to the Felidae household and
the tiniest of the 4 “big cats” in the genus Panthera; the other three being the tiger, lion and
jaguar. When distributed across southern Asia and Africa, from Korea to South Africa, the
leopard’s range of distribution has actually lowered significantly due to hunting and loss of
residency, and the greatest concentration of leopards now takes place mainly in sub-Saharan
Africa; there are also fragmented populations in Pakistan, India, Indochina, Malaysia, and
China. Due to the loss of variety and decreases in population, it is rated as a “Near
Threatened” types. Its numbers are greater than other Panthera species, all of which face more
acute conservation issues.
The leopard has fairly short legs and a long body, with a large head. It is similar in appeal to the
jaguar, although it is of smaller and slighter create. Its fur is marked with rosettes that are similar
to those of the jaguar, though the leopard’s rosettes are smaller sized and much more largely
packed. Leopards that are melanistic, that is either entirely black or very dark, are known as

4. black panthers.
The types’ success in the wild owes in component to its opportunistic searching behavior, its
versatility to residencies, and its capacity to move at up to about 58 kilometres (36 miles) an
hour. The leopard consumes virtually any sort of pet it can easily hunt down and catch. Its
preferred habitat ranges from rainforest to desert surfaces. Its ecological function is comparable
to the American cougar.
